THE DREADWOLF Dragon Age: The Veilguard (dev. BioWare. 2024)

Luring you here gave me the chance to save you… At least for now.

The problem with Solas' view of Mythal

Listen, this has been bugging me for a while, and I finally found a way to articulate it...

In Trespasser, Solas sounds completely devoted to her. And he's so bitter discussing her murder. It's almost like he didn't rebel to free the slaves but to avenge her. (He says he wrote that story "in desperation," so I'm not sure.)

In the Inquisition post credits, he takes Mythal's power, and in his mural he paints it as a betrayal. But it also seems like she gave him permission? She knows he needs her power, and there's no doubt in my mind she could stop him from taking it if she wanted. And we saw her put a soul through the eluvian. She's planned and prepared for this. And he's so wrapped up in his own grief that he doesn't see it.

And she tells him she's "sorry as well." And I don't think she's commiserating with him. It's almost like she's apologizing for something she's done that he doesn't realize? Solas thinks he's done something terrible, but I think he did exactly what she wanted him to do.

Like, I'm sure Solas believes Lavellan loves an idealized version of him that isn't true. But I'm thinking maybe he needs to look into a mirror about Mythal?

We've known Flemeth for three games. She always has a plan. She was waiting for you to come kill her in Origins. Just because she was curious about what you and Morrigan would do. You didn't just happen to be the only Grey Wardens she could save. She hand-picked you. Just like she did Hawke.

And Solas comes to this woman at the end of Inquisition thinking he stabbed her in the back??? Honey, sweetie, do you know this woman at all???

I have so many alarm bells going off in the back of my head.

Finally finished the couples that I have for the current roster of dragon age games. Will add two more after I finally get my hands on VG. (Also decided to make a non angsty version of Anders and hawke lol)

Character study: Solas - Dragon age Inquisition

Exploring a soft and gentle side of Solas.

This started practice on realistic looking skin (freckles are a lot of fun to paint!) but as always I never leave it at that. I'm really happy with how this portrait turned out. Soon I may try my hand at digital drawing. Any recomendations from digital artists? :)

I am drowning

There is no sign of land

You are coming down with me

Hand in unlovable hand

And I hope you die

I hope we both die

@vahingoniloinenlapsi was so nice and added In’nan’s vallaslin for me (twirling my hair)

I always just assumed that the solas romance was restricted to female inquisitors bc straight is default and this is not a Gay Character(TM). Then I found out today that they actively CHOSE to restrict him to m/f romance specifically BECAUSE they didn’t want to play into harmful stereotypes about queer men being predatory liars. And it made me tear up a little. I thought it was lazy and it turned out to be thoughtful. I’m very glad to be wrong.

he's so fen'harel here

its actually somewhat driving me insane how much content with tavs/durges centres on cishet m/f or cis m/m ships like... i get it they were always gonna b the most popular in fandom circles bc of demographics and its not like im against them (its usually how i play in dragon age lol) but its soooo jarring to me as someone whose got 0 cishet tavs and only one fits that second cis m\m bill. it makes me feel like im a bizarro world sometimes when i go and see all this fanart of women with astarion or gale or whoever, maybe a few men, like 0 nonbinary characters, and almost none of the girlies in romantic situations....

Varric: What's so confusing about endless darkspawn?

Solas: A great deal.

This exchange will never not get me. There's a lot about modern Thedas Solas has had to figure out. But that darkspawn thing... that's still got him stumped like:
